Enjoyed your review. I'm going to sit this one out. The pen does not call out to me. Heavier than I like & that section, not a fan of chrome. I do enjoy my C1, M8, M600S, M800 & T1. Moonman has made some great pens lately.

I totally understand your stance on the pen! What makes this pen for me is the look and the nib is just as good if not better than my C1. Thanks for watching Chris!

As someone already mentioned, it looks like a more adult or maybe polished and elegant version of the TWSBI Go. Thanks for the video and I hope you keep enjoying this fountain pen. May you and your loved ones stay safe and healthy 🖖.

This feels like an "adult" version of the twsbi go. Hmm, wanted a Go for a really really long time, but it's availability evade me. I don't want to buy online (since it costs more) and I'm fine waiting. This one though, can be bought online for the same price. However, the "local" online seller sells it for $40, whereas in ebay it's only listed for around $20 with shipping. Hopefully, it goes down to around $20 in the near future so I can buy it as well.

Mine came in today in the brown color. Matched it with Sailor Studio #373 ink. I love this pen-especially the weight. And I got it with a medium Jinhao nib-very smooth. I’m so happy and thanks for your review! Yes a 5 rating!

I got mine in this week. I was really put off by the weight at first, but after using it a few times it's grown on me. Fit and finish is good on mine. Section is super slick, but I'm able to use my thumb as an anchor on the threads and use it. Still, I'm tempted to put some electrical tape on the grip just like I did on the T1. I have the brown version, and it's nice. Standard moonman fine nib, I made it wetter to suit my preference. Thanks for the review, man. I don't normally have a pen before I watch the review, lol.

It's funny that you mentioned the silver nibs. When I got my moonman m600 purple it came with a gold nib. Didn't write at all out of the box. I got a replacement silver nib and it works amazing. It came almost like it was tuned. The tines came perfectly aligned and there was even that slight v-groove gap where the top of the nib is a little wider apart than the bottom (when looking straight on). I don't understand it.

Me neither. I rank the nibs silver, two toned, then gold. All three silver nibs I have recieved have been great!

My moonman C1 has become kind of a desk decoration because of how inconsistent its nib was with how susceptible to baby's bottom and running dry it was, and after I tried to fix those problems to no avail. Was that just a problem with the moonman nib I got and should I give them another try?
@aaronspenvideos44204 жыл бұрын
I would give it another try. Most of my moonman nibs have been excellent. There is always unfortunately going to be poor performers and I'm sure at one point I will be one of the unlucky ones. Hopefully your next nib performs better!
@Seefood734 жыл бұрын
If you can't fix the nib, switch. Good Chinese #6 nibs are around $1 like the Jinhao, up to 3-4 for a Moonman. Pity not to use a beauty like the C1.

Moonman nibs are quality control wise, great. Maybe you really had bad luck with the nib... so far out of like 8 moonman pens, all came in great straight out of the box. Other brands like jinhao, wing sung etc. came in with "slight" need of adjustment.
